I had a whole blog post written about my new and exciting recipe for rice crispy treats made with Nutella. It included phrases like "never before tasted!" "world premiere!" "absolutely one of a kind!" and "sheer genius!" Well, fortunately I did a little exploratory googling before hitting "post," and found out that I am not the first person to have the idea to make rice crispy treats with Nutella. I'm not even the second. Or the third. Maybe more like the tenth...or hundredth.I can't lie--I'm a little disappointed! I was picturing receiving giant trophies made out of rice crispy treats and a medal for "Most Delicious Recipe Inventor." I do take comfort in the fact that my recipe is a little different from others, in the proportions and in the mix-ins, which I think makes for a really tasty final product. My Nutella Crispy Treats have a high gooey-stuff-to-cereal ratio, so the bars are nice and chewy, not dry and painfully crunchy. I also like to add miniature chocolate chips and toasted hazelnuts, to give little bursts of flavor throughout the bar. And of course I recommend cutting them into small squares, the better to eat by the handful. So it's not the first of its kind, but it is absolutely delicious, and I can promise you won't be sorry if you try my version of Nutella rice crispy treats.
